Why do Garfield phones keep washing up on this French beach?

Our favorite Bizarre File story of the day!

For more than 30 years, it was a mystery that couldn't be solved. Orange plastic novelty phones shaped like the classic cartoon cat Garfield kept washing up on a rocky beach in Brittany, in western France.

A few days ago, volunteers cleaning the beaches helped to figure out what had happened: the source of the Garfield phones was a long-lost shipping container, found in a rocky cave.

This video explains a little bit more about why parts of the 1980's relics have been steadily washing up on the Iroise coast of Brittany:

Unfortunately, the container remains buried underneath the rocks and cannot be accessed. As a result, the orange parts from all the Garfield phones will continue to wash up on the beaches. Quel dommage!
